FDI and Economic Growth in Pakistan: A Sector Wise Multivariate Cointegration Analysis.
Liberal economic policies have promoted economic growth via Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) around the globe. This paper investigates this
preposition by resorting to sector-specific FDI and GDP to Vector Error
Correction Model (VECM) within panel cointegration methodology using
domestic investment, infrastructure, human capital and institutions as
control variables. For this purpose, Pakistani economy is disaggregated
into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. For FDI and GDP of primary
sector, various economic groups such as food, beverages, tobacco, sugar,
paper and pulp, leather and leather products, rubber and rubber products
are used. Similarly, for secondary sector, chemicals, pharmaceuticals
and fertilisers, petro chemicals and petroleum refining, cement, basic
metals, metal products, machinery other than electrical, electrical
machinery, electronics, transport equipment, power, construction, mining
and quarrying, oil and gas exploration economic groups are used. For
tertiary sector, wholesale and retail trade, tourism, transport, storage
and communication, financial businesses, social and private services are
used. Moreover, infrastructural and institutional index is derived using
Principle Component Analysis (PCA). Although, the panel approach
signified both long run and short run relationship between FDI and GDP
but sector wise relationships are dismal. Only FDI of primary sector
showed short run relationship with respective GDP. Moreover, no cross
sector spillover exists between primary, secondary and tertiary sectors
of Pakistan.

1. INTRODUCTION
From last three decades, minimal trade barriers along with
progressive liberalisation economics policies have promoted
globalisation. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) defined by centralised
authority, international operations and massive new knowledge have
complement the evolution of international economy [Dunning (1989)]. The
liberal economic policies have expressively contributed in advanced
economies [Tintin (2012)]. This liberalised thinking was complemented by
contemporary economic setup in these economies. Free trade via
liberalised economic policies, massive physical and human capital was
boosted achieving massive growth rates.
In 2000, 4.3 percent of global GDP was held by world's largest
100 MNEs. On the whole, the market value was 6.3 trillion US$. The
intrusion of FDI in developing world has also promoted economic growth.
But the existing literature on economic growth highlights local
structural composition as a hurdle in the path of their economic growth
[Perez (1985)]. Similarly, the dependency upon developed world's
knowledge also complements the structural problem of developing
economies. Moreover, the domestic absorptive capacity of developing
economies remains a point of concern for new knowledge intake from
developed world [Adler (1965)]. To absorb new knowledge, efficient
domestic human capital and infrastructure of the host economy is a
necessary condition [Narula and Marin (2003)]. These threshold
requirements limit absorptive capability hindering the process of
technology diffusion and growth in developing economies [Nelson and
Phelps (1966)]. The developing economies remain stuck in vicious circle
of low growth rates, poor health of population, in competent training
and low work prospects. Therefore, primary sector is a central catalyst
to growth. The primary sector consists of inefficient labour, minimal
incomes and labour focused mechanisms for production [Lewis (1954)].
Additionally, this primary sector has an inadequate magnitude of land
for production. Therefore, this dependence upon primary sector leads to
skeptical growth in developing economies.
The inefficient traditional sector also hinders the growth of other
sectors. The provision of cheap raw materials to secondary sector
becomes limited mainly due to inefficient primary sector. An inefficient
primary sector also burdens secondary sector via excessive unproductive
labour supply. Therefore, the up gradation of primary sector is
necessary for developing economies. It can promote new industries along
with expansion of prevailing ones. This expansion of secondary sector
also expand traditional sector because the demand for raw materials
grows significantly over time. Similarly, this growth also links with
tertiary sector because the demand for services in both these sectors
would have a significant impact on tertiary sector. To generate this
linkage between sectors, the provision of FDI is pivotal for developing
economies. Because it can assist via new knowledge, improved capability
of human capital and increased production capability etc. The
interconnection between sectors can be promoted the provision of foreign
capital. The primary sector of developed economies received 157 billion
US$ as FDI in 2005 (FAO Investment Centre). The stable inflow of
investment in primary sector also enhances capital flow to secondary
sector [Lewis (1954)]. But African and Asian economies received very
meagre amount of FDI in comparison of advanced ones. Over the last
decade, advanced economies recorded more FDI inflows to secondary
against primary sector. This shift of investment towards secondary
sector is accordance to Lewis (1954) description of linkage with between
primary. The similar pattern of FDI was also recorded by African and
Asian economies. The shift to secondary sector comes due to growth of
primary sector. As primary sector grows, the greater availability of
cheap inputs encourages finished goods and services.
As secondary sector grows, it is complemented by tertiary sector
[Berman, Bound, and Griliches (1994)]. The first stage of value chain
requires research and development (R&D) activities followed by
retailing and repairs etc. Tertiary sector provides wide ranging
activities like transportation, education, financial services, trade,
information and technology etc. used by manufacturers during production.
In 2008, half of the business services were used by secondary sector.
While in 2011, the services intensity for electronic products raised to
48 percent which was only 25 percent in 2008. Moreover, in 2010,
tertiary sector recorded 268 billion US$ of FDI in advanced economies,
while Asia and Africa only received 9 billion US$. Despite massive
influx of FDI in all three sectors, developed economies maintained a
growth rate of 2 percent by 2012 whereas; developing economies showed a
growth rate of 4 percent [World Development Indicators (WDI)]. These
growth rates indicate that foreign capital has improved the domestic
capabilities in developing economies [Agmon and Hirsch (1979)].
For 2012, Pakistan recorded an impressive growth rate of 4.4
percent [KPMG (2013)]. Pakistan is a top liberal economy in South Asia.
With an open economy having rapid paced private sector, Pakistan allows
100 percent foreign equity in its secondary sector. However, the primary
sector provides employment to 45 percent labour force but tertiary
sector has a massive share of 58 percent in Pakistan's GDP. Still,
the primary sector is the driving force of the economy. In 2013, primary
sector had a growth rate of 3.3 percent, 3.5 percent of secondary sector
and 3.7 percent of tertiary sector. Similar to other economies, FDI
inflows in tertiary sector has shown a massive increase as compared to
other sectors of Pakistan's economy. Like other developing
economies, the primary sector of Pakistan's economy is
characterised by low productivity, inefficient labour, energy
deficiencies and fewer enticements. The secondary sector is composed of
automotive, infrastructure, commercial machinery, construction,
pharmaceuticals, textiles and electronics. Like the global economy,
tertiary sector have also grown rapidly in last decade. Pakistan's
tertiary sector consists of trade, financial services, oil and gas
exploration and technology. In 2012, the financial sector had assets of
10 billion rupees. Oil and gas exploration received FDI of 570 million
US$. While infrastructure has a share of 11 percent in total GDP. The IT
sector received 12 billion US$ of investment in last seven years.
Pakistan continuously promotes investor friendly policies to
attract MNEs. Pakistan facilitates foreign investors via full
repatriation of profits, dividends and capital gains. In terms of legal
protection, Foreign Private Investment Act 1976 and Protection of
Economic Reforms Act 1992 focuses on removing equity caps on financial
services, unnecessary regulations, ensures transparency and quality
inputs to foreign investors. However, the existing literature on FDI in
Pakistan is contemptuous. The studies by Iqbal, Shaikh, and Shar (2010),
Ghazali (2010), Ahmad, Hayat, Luqman, and Ullah (2012), Ahmad, Alam,
Butt, and Haroon (2003) and Dutta and Ahmed (2004) provides empirical
evidence of role of FDI in Pakistan but a concrete evidence is still
missing. The study by Khan and Khan (2011) used similar approach as used
in this paper but estimated bivariate and gross effect estimation which
is not a comprehensive analysis of FDI growth nexus in case of Pakistan.
The paper targets three major issues: first, FDI-growth nexus in case of
Pakistan by panel data approach. Second, how primary, secondary and
tertiary sectors are affected by their share of FDI? Last, to
investigate the existence of cross sector between Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary sector. For this purpose, the time span of 1997-2013 is
targeted because of data availability of industry specific FDI and GDP
at State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This study also uses domestic
investment, human capital, infrastructure and institutions as other
explanatory variables.
This paper is divided into five sections. The second section
represents the literature review. The third section is of data and
methodology used in this research. The fourth section shows empirical
outcomes. The last section represents conclusion and policy implication
of this research.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
The presence of foreign direct investment (FDI) can be found even
in 2500BC. Back then, Sumerian merchants controlled their overseas
commerce through foreign men. The expansion of East India Company in
1600 and the existence of Virginia Company by 1606 at Jamestown, the
first foreign direct investment in America explain the presence of
foreign investment as a concept in human history [Wilkins (1970)]. The
industrial revolution prompted the need of foreign investment and trade
to increase production efficiency [Hussain (2004)].
By 19th century, European firms became well-known in Asia, Latin
America and Africa. European industries moved their capital abroad for
cheap raw materials and higher returns [Hobson (1914)]. The
neo-classical trade theory based on Heckscher and Ohlin model also
explains the capital movement for higher returns. This traditional
theory of investment is linked with 'differential rate of return
hypothesis'. The higher expectation of capital return motivates
foreign investment in a developing economy [Hufbauer (1975); Nurkse
(1935)]. In addition, cheap availability of raw materials for higher
returns is complemented by 'market size hypothesis'. A firm
increases investment in response to expected sales in a developing
economy [Markowitz (1959); Tobin (1958)]. The creation of multinational
enterprises (MNEs) is primarily linked to economies of scale,
nonmarketable technology, management and diversification of production
limiting competition in host economies [Hymer (1976)]. Another
justification of foreign investment can be done through 'product
cycle hypothesis'. An innovating firm in accordance to demand at
home produces new product. Then, this new product is exported to other
host economies because the maturity of a new product at home forces a
firm to invest overseas [Agmon and Hirsch (1979); Vernon (1966)]. MNEs
create new knowledge and upgrades domestic labour, reducing cost of
production in host economies [Buckley and Casson (1976)].
On the other hand, host economies prefer resource and efficiency
seeking FDI in their labour intensive economy. It improvises technical
skills of domestic labour along with infrastructure [Conner (1991)].
Moreover, MNEs prefer regions having social, political and economic
uniformity [Dunning (1980)]. These united markets provide common
communication infrastructure, trade patterns, availability of cheap raw
materials and networking structure to MNEs. The MNEs of Europe followed
this regional pattern in Latin America, Africa and Asia to exploit
low-cost inputs for global integration [Dunning (1998)]. The customary
factors did play a critical role in the progress of FDI [Reuber (1973)]
but tax regulation and political stability also influenced investment
decisions especially in developing world [Dunning and Enterprises
(1993)]. The unprecedented growth of globalisation marginalised
idiosyncratic factors such as cheap inputs and regional uniformity
against poor political situation and economic policies of developing
world [UNCTAD (1997)]. In terms of low trade barriers, MNEs frolicked
significant share in the growth of developing economies. During
1991-1996, 100 economies adopted 599 liberalisations while only in 1997,
151 liberalisations changes accrued in 76 economies, mostly Asian. This
increase in trade liberalisation policies demanded sufficient
infrastructure, steady administrative and economic milieu, skilled human
capital, low-cost inputs, and rule of law as prerequisites [UNCTAD
(1997)]. Ultimately, MNEs have to extemporize in new markets to race
with their opposing investors. This promotes growth and creates value
addition. This economic activity increases wages and competition.
Eventually, MNEs look for more FDI destinations with similar
prerequisites [Jawahar and McLaughlin (2001)]. The recurrence of this
cycle will result in latest locations, creating new rivalries along with
the probe of new prospective regions for investment.
Given the conceptual understanding, post liberalisation period of
developing economies empirically proves FDI led growth nexus [Blonigen
and Wang (2004); Khawar (2005); Lim (2001); Lipsey (2004)]. This
optimistic view is supported by certain threshold levels; efficient
domestic labour, infrastructure and law and order situation etc. As
various spillovers are associated with FDI, these thresholds complement
the growth path of developing economies [Borensztein, De Gregorio, and
Lee (1998)]. Recent studies showed the existence of FDI-growth nexus in
developing economies [Basu, Chakraborty, and Reagle (2003); Hansen and
Rand (2006); Tadesse and Ryan (2005)]. Being a composite bundle, the
impact of FDI is manifold in developing economies [Balasubramanyam,
Salisu, and Sapsford (1996); De Mello (1999)]. But various empirical
studies did focus upon export promotion due to FDI led growth [Rahmaddi
and Ichihashi (2012); Tadesse and Ryan (2005)]. Although, which
sector's exports should increase is debatable but most empirical
studies stress upon manufacturing and services exports due to FDI
[Castejon and Woerz (2006); Ramasamy, Yeung, and Laforet (2012)]
because, manufacturing and services are expected to produce finished
goods and services as compared to primary sector in developing
economies. Most developing economies are dependent upon primary sector.
Being characterised by abundance labour, lower efficiency and low wages,
primary sector provides raw materials to secondary sector [Lewis
(1954)]. It also provides numerous opportunities for FDI. FDI inflows to
primary sector tend to increase productivity through processed food
items [Gow and Swinnen (1998); Hawkes and Hawkes (2005)]. It also
results in output and yield increase. The expansion of primary sector
does affect secondary sector as well [Wachter, Gordon, Piore, and Hall
(1974)]. As primary production increases, more cheap raw materials are
available to secondary sector. Then, the influx of FDI to secondary
sector raises domestic market's productivity and thus economic
growth [Banga (2004); Elu and Price (2010); Vahter (2010)]. The MNEs
have to transfer knowledge to its domestic counterparts in order to
capture new market. At first, domestic producers might not be able to
compete with MNEs but, knowledge transfer will help the natives to
compete in the long run [Javorcik (2004)]. This knowledge transfer will
increase the manufacturing productivity through new production
techniques and decreased factor prices creating a direct linkage between
primary and secondary sector. As domestic manufacturing market become
technology intensive to compete with MNEs by investing in R&D
activities, more FDI takes place [Guo, Gao, and Chen (2013); Park
(2004); Simoes and Simoes (1988)].On the other hand, services sector is
also embedded in manufacturing value chain [Weill (1992)]. The
manufacturing sector stresses upon sourcing of inputs and marketing
through electronic media, creating interdependence with services sector.
Moreover, the linkages with manufacturing sector are important for
sustainable employment in the economy [Park (2004)]. This growth of
services sector attracts FDI creating more linkages with manufacturing
sector [Kolstad and Villanger (2008)]. FDI to services can complement
manufacturing sector's growth. As services grow, it raises
manufacturing sector's productivity through R&D activities,
operational management such as production and distribution services
[Carree and Thurik (2003)].
Being a developing economy, Pakistan adopts investor attractive
policies, offering complete return on capital and profits. MNEs are
revered with Foreign Private investment Promotion and Protection act of
1976 and Protection of Economic Reforms act of 1992. Pakistan focuses on
minimising process of doing business, provision of business
infrastructure and tax liberties for foreign investors [KPMG (2013)].
The existing literature about the role of FDI in Pakistan mainly targets
trade [Dutta and Ahmed (2004); Iqbal, et al. (2010)]. Moreover, the
literature shows a long run relationship between of FDI inflows and
economic growth of Pakistan [Ahmad, et al. (2003); Mughal (2008); Khan
and Khan (2011); Zeb, et al. (2013); Aqeel and Nishat (2004); Rahman
(2014); Younus, et al. (2014); Abdullah, et al. (2015) and Dar, et al.
(2015)]. FDI inflows also promote domestic investment and exports of
Pakistan. [Ahmad, et al. (2012); Ghazali (2010)]. The influx of FDI
along with financial development also promotes economic growth [Shahbaz
and Rahman (2012)]. Similarly, FDI collaborates with domestic investment
to promote economic growth [Dar, et al. (2015)]. On the other hand,
Falki (2009), Shaheen, et al. (2013) and Saqib, et al. (2013), showed a
negative relationship between FDI and economic growth in case of
Pakistan. The existing studies on Pakistan are of time series dimension,
targeting an overall impact of FDI on trade, domestic investment and
economic growth. This study tends to focus on a new dimension of
analysing FDI-growth nexus. This study targets the FDI led growth
hypothesis by sector wise analysis of Pakistan.
3. DATA AND METHODOLOGY
For years, FDI has been a premier source of investment in Pakistan.
It out spaces portfolio investment and directly impacts the economic
growth of Pakistani economy [Ghazali (2010)]. Post liberalisation period
show huge influx of FDI in all sectors of Pakistan [Khan and Khan
(2011)]. Although, primary sector had a significant share in Pakistani
national income but, it was used to facilitate secondary sector during
different government regimes. Having a direct linkage between them, both
sectors received FDI respectively. But being a developing economy,
influx of FDI also recorded steep decline halting growth, mainly due to
multidimensional uncertainties in Pakistan [Khan and Khan (2011)]. This
study records Pakistani economy into three sectors; primary, secondary
and tertiary sector. Each sector is comprised of different economic
groups. For primary sector, food, sugar, beverages and tobacco, paper
and pulp, rubber and rubber products and leather and leather products
are included. For secondary sector, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and
fertilisers, petro chemicals and petroleum refining, cement, basic
metals, metal products, machinery other than electrical, electrical
machinery, electronics, transport equipment, power, construction and
mining and quarrying with oil and gas exploration are included. For
tertiary sector, financial businesses, tourism, transport, wholesale and
retail trade, storage and communication, social and private services are
included. The selected sample period is 1997-2013.While, the data used
was collected from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Economic Survey of
Pakistan (2012-2013), Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), World
Governance Indicators (WGI) and United Nation Development Programme
(UNDP) reports. (1)
(a) Variable Definitions
The definitions of different variables used in this research are
defined below:
(i) Gross Domestic Product (GDP): GDP is a measure of economic
activity of an economy. For a specific period of time, it highlights the
total market value of both goods and services within geographical
boundary of an economy. Here, it is subdivided into primary, secondary
and tertiary sectors of Pakistani economy. (2)
(ii) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): It represents a long term
relationship between the direct investor and resident entity. The direct
investor of home economy owns ten percent or more of the ordinary shares
or voting power in resident entity of host economy. It includes flows of
funds, reinvestment of profits, intercompany debt transactions, property
patents and technology transfer etc. (3)
(iii) Domestic Investment (DI): Gross Fixed Capital Formation
(GFCF) is used to explain domestic investment. It represents new and
existing resources by households, firms and governments. But, it shows a
gross value as it excludes disposals of fixed assets within an economy.
It only includes net improvement in land value but, excludes mineral
reserves, water forests and subsoil assets etc.
(iv) Infrastructure (INF): Infrastructure can be defined as the
basic facilities required for the working of any economy. It can be
categorised into physical and organisational services to enhance
efficiency of an economy. For primary sector, we have used total cropped
area, credit disbursement (in million rupees), water availability to
crops, import of insecticides, production of tractors, number of tube
wells, fertilisers off take and energy consumption such as petroleum,
gas and electricity for primary production as infrastructural
indicators. For secondary sector, energy consumption such as
electricity, gas and petroleum for secondary production are used. For
tertiary sector, education expenditure (% of GNI), health expenditure (%
of GDP), total number of mobile phones, law and order expenditures (in
million rupees), quantity of buses and length of roads was used as
infrastructural indicators. (4)
(v) Human Capital (HC): Human Capital represents the skills
possessed by individuals such as knowledge and experience etc. Here,
Human Development Index (HDI) is used as Human Capital. While, HDI is
the combination of knowledge, standard of living and life expectancy at
birth.
(vi) Institutions (INST): Institutions are defined as formal rules
and informal norms that structure human interaction through legitimate
enforcement mechanism. Where, human defined constraints are formal rules
while, informal norms are imbedded cultural norms of a society.
Institutions ensure all kinds of transactions which help to preserve
life. For an institutional index, indicators such as political
stability, control of corruption, voice and accountability and rule of
law were used. (5)
(b) Approach
Although, the contemporary hypothetical and pragmatic literature
has emphasised on feedback mechanism between FDI and economic growth in
both long run and short run dynamics, but empirical evidence on sector
wise analysis is unfounded in case of Pakistan. In addition, existing
literature does not focus on FDI led growth in detail. On this basis of
time series analysis, the unit root characteristics in panel data can
subject to spurious regression. A comprehensive analysis is needed to
complement policy structure regarding FDI through cointegration between
FDI and economic growth in both long run and short run in case of
Pakistan.
We formulate a panel framework based on three cross sections
(primary, secondary and tertiary) with seventeen time dimensions. Our
empirical analysis is based on three steps [Basu, et al. (2003)].
Beginning from stationarity of variables, the existence of unit root
prompted to check for long run cointegration between respective
variables [Pedroni (2004)]. Given the existence of long run
cointegration across the panel, we look for error correction model to
uncover granger causality in the third step of our estimation. Comparing
with the existing literature, our analysis of panel data points out a
major new dimension about FDI led growth hypothesis for Pakistan but, it
also has certain limitations as well. A steady series of sector specific
FDI data is only available for time period 1997-2013. Relatively shorter
time dimension might not be enough to fully capture the long run impact
of FDI. But, given the data restriction, our focus is on attribution
only [Clements and Taylor (2003)].
Meanwhile, our analysis focuses on multivariate framework by
including auxiliary variables (domestic investment, infrastructure,
human capital and institutions), for a detailed explanation of
FDI-growth link [Chakraborty and Nunnenkamp (2008)]. One significant
contribution is the heterogeneity of our link across three sectors via
panel cointergation framework. By this way, we also tend to identify
other growth determinants as well for Pakistan. Lastly, the long run
cointegration is a necessary condition for checking long run causality.
Therefore, we rely on standard granger causality procedure as compared
to Toda and Yamamoto's test which do not rely on pre-testing
because it is appropriate for sector specific panel cointegration
framework [Chakraborty and Nunnenkamp (2008)]. The unit root property of
panel analysis was examined using Levin, Lin and Chu (LLC), Im, Pesaran,
and Shin (IPS) and Madala and Wu (MU) unit root tests. LLC mainly is an
extension of Dickey Fuller (DF) test. It allows for both unit specific
fixed effect and unit specific time trend. It assumes cross sectional
independence of individual processes. IPS test assumes for same time
periods for all cross sections. It means that IPS test is ideal for
balanced panel data analysis. IPS test is based upon the average of
individual unit root test statistics. MU test is ideal for unbalanced
panel data analysis. It does not allow for average of DF statistics. In
order to test for unit root in time series analysis, Augmented Dickey
Fuller (ADF) test is used. It includes a lagged term of dependent
variable to remove autocorrelation. For panel cointegration, we resort
to Pedroni-cointegration test which allows for multivariate
cointegration analysis in panel data. It consists of seven statistics in
which four are based on pooling along within dimension while three are
based on between dimension. The within dimension means an average test
statistic of cointegration across different cross sections and between
dimension means average is done in pieces for each cross section. These
statistics are as follows:
(i) Panel v-statistic
[T.sup.2][M.sup.3/2][Z.sub.vNMT] =
[T.sup.2][M.sup.3/2]/([M.summation over (i=1)] [T.summation over (t=1)]
[L.sup.-2.sub.11i][[epsilon].sup.2.sub.it]) ... (i)
(ii) Panel p-statistic
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (ii)
(iii) Panel t-statistic (non-parametric)
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (iii)
(iv) Panel t-statistic (parametric)
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (iv)
(v) Group p-statistic (parametric)
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (v)
(vi) Group t-statistic (non-parametric)
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (vi)
(vii) Group t-statistic (parametric)
[mathematical expression not reproducible] ... (vii)
Given the existence of cointegration between the variables, Fully
Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) is used for long run
cointegration vectors. It corrects the common problems that prevail in
long run relationship in the form of serial correlation and endogeneity
of regressors. Similarly, it is unbiased and fully efficient
asymptotically [Philips and Hansen (1990)]. A general FMOLS model is as
follows:
[mathematical expression not reproducible] (viii)
Similarly, for time series analysis, bivariate analysis is
estimated using Engle-Granger ointegration approach. It is better in the
sense that it provides an unbiased relationship between the variables of
interest.
4. EMPIRICAL OUTCOMES
(i) Unit Root Test
The provision of cross section effects with heterogeneity across
panel has provided weight to unit root testing in panel data analysis.
For model selection, no intercepts with any trends, heterogeneous
intercepts and with no trends are optional. Here, using heterogeneous
intercepts with no trends (MO and heterogeneous intercepts with trends
([M.SUB.2]) models, we test for the null hypothesis of non-stationarity
for the referred variables. For this purpose, four residual based tests
are used given by Levin, Lin, and Chu (2002), Im, Pesaran, and Shin
(2003) and Maddala and Wu (1999) shown in Table 1. Whereas, Levin, Lin,
Chu and Shang statistics assumes homogeneous unit root process while,
remaining statistics assume heterogeneous unit root process.
For both heterogeneous intercepts with no trends ([M.sub.1]) and
heterogeneous intercepts with trends ([M.sub.2]), all the variables show
the rejection of null of non-stationarity at first difference.
Therefore, we can conclude that all referred variables have unit root
properties or integrated at order one or 1(1).
(ii) Panel Cointergation Test
After the confirmation of unit root properties in referred
variables, the next step is to look for common stochastic trend or
cointergation between them. For this purpose, Pedroni (1999)
cointegration approach is used allowing common long run relationships of
referred variables. It allows multiple heterogeneous cointergating
vectors, preferred over traditional panel cointegrating techniques with
the null hypothesis of 'no cointergation'.
The targeted cointegration relationship has following form:
[GDP.sub.it] = [[beta].sub.o] + [[beta].sub.1] [FDI.sub.it] +
[[beta].sub.2] [DI.sub.it], + [[beta].sub.3] [INF.sub.it] +
[[beta].sub.4] [HC.sub.it] + [[beta].sub.5] [INST.sub.it] +
[[epsilon].sub.it]
here, [[beta].sub.o] represents sector specific effects while
[[epsilon].sub.it] shows residuals specifying deviancy from steady state
relationship. The panel cointergation relationship checks for the
stationarity of extracted residuals at level or 1(0), signifying long
run cointegration between our model. On the other hand, Pedroni (1999)
refers seven different statistics divided into two categories to examine
this long run cointegration. The first category includes four statistics
based on polling autoregressive coefficients (within dimension) across
all the cross sections of the panel. While, the second category includes
three statistics based on average of autoregressive coefficients
(between dimension) for each cross section of the panel. For within
dimension category, the positive value of first stat with large negative
values of two statistics reveals presence of long run cointegration
across all three cross sections. Similarly, large negative values of two
between dimension statistics also show the presence of long run
cointegration between our model for each cross sectional unit of the
panel. Table 2 reveals five significant test statistics at one percent.
Therefore, we conclude that FDI, domestic investment, infrastructure,
human capital and institutions are correlated with GDP in the long run.
(iii) Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) Test
Given that the referred variables are cointergated, showing
significant relationship but the results still can be misleading due to
spurious regression problem [Phillips and Hansen (1990)]. Therefore,
fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) test proposed by [Pedroni
(2000)] is used to tackle serial correlation and endogeneity of
regressors. Similarly, it is unbiased and asymptotically efficient.
Given the results in Table 3, foreign direct investment (FDI),
infrastructure (INF) and institutions (INS) showed a positive and
significant relationship between economic growth of Pakistan. On the
other hand, domestic investment and human capital showed negative
relationship with Pakistan's growth.
(iv) Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)
After the confirmation of long run relationship between respective
variables, we look for causality between them. Firstly, residuals are
extracted from the cointegrated model. Then, using these residuals, a
dynamic error correction model is estimated. The results in Table 4 show
a bidirectional short run causality of FDI, DI and institutions with GDP
of Pakistan. Similarly, there exists a unidirectional causality running
from infrastructure and human capital to GDP of Pakistan. Similarly, the
error correction term signifies the existence of long run relationship
between our variables of interest.
(v) Sector-wise Causality
After exploring the causal relationship of referred variables in
our panel, we focus on finding the nature and magnitude of causal
relationships in all cross sections of our study. For primary sector,
the results in Table 5 reveal bidirectional short run causality between
primary sector FDI and GDP. Similarly, for secondary sector, the results
of Table 6 reveal no short run or long run relationship between
secondary sector FDI and GDP. Lastly, for tertiary sector, no short run
or long run relationship was found between tertiary sector FDI and GDP.
The results are somewhat surprising because post reform period
registered tertiary sector as the largest recipient of FDI in Pakistan.
Similarly, all three sectors show a long run relationship from GDP to
FDI. Moreover, GDP of all sectors tends to develop a long run
relationship with infrastructure. But in short run, only GDP of tertiary
sector tends to cause infrastructure. The sector wise results also show
that human capital tends to develop a long run relationship only with
GDP of tertiary sector. Lastly, economic growth in primary and secondary
sector has a long run relationship with domestic institutions. As these
sectors grow, the performances of domestic institutions also improve.
(vi) Cross Sector Spillover Test
Given the results about the impact of FDI overall and sector wise
in economic growth of Pakistani economy, we also focus upon the cross
sector impact between primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. The VECM
results show no evidence of short causality and long run relationship
between FDI of a particular sector and economic growth of other sector.
However, growth of primary sector has a long run relationship with FDI
inflows to secondary and tertiary sectors. It means that as primary
sector grows, it attracts more FDI in secondary and tertiary sectors.
Similarly, growth of secondary sector tends to cause FDI in primary
sector in the short run. There also exists a long run relationship
between the two. As secondary sector grows, primary sector receives more
FDI. The growth of secondary sector also has a long run relationship
with FDI in tertiary sector. The growth of secondary sector attracts FDI
in tertiary sector. Lastly, the growth of tertiary sector also attracts
FDI in secondary sector. The cross sector VECM results also support the
market size hypothesis in case of Pakistan. The growth of a particular
sector affects the FDI inflows to other sectors but, FDI in a sector
does not have any cross sector spillover in case of Pakistan.
5. CONCLUSION AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
The post reform period recorded a boom in FDI inflows in Pakistan.
This period also documented a shift in composition of FDI. The focus
shifted towards tertiary sector from secondary sector. While primary
sector continuously recorded a meagre amount of FDI. Using multivariate
framework, this paper mainly focused upon FDI led growth hypothesis for
Pakistan through disaggregated analysis.
Pedroni panel cointegration approach highlighted that FDI, domestic
investment, infrastructure, human capital and institutions are
cointegrated in the long run. While FMOLS showed that FDI,
infrastructure and institutions positively affects the long run economic
growth of Pakistan. On the other hand, domestic investment and human
capital recorded a negative relationship with economic growth of
Pakistan. The VECM showed a bidirectional causality of FDI and domestic
investment with economic growth in short run. While there exists a
unidirectional short run causality from infrastructure and human capital
to economic growth.
At sector level, there exists market size hypothesis of primary
sector in the long run. But there exists bidirectional causality between
primary sector FDI and economic growth. For secondary sector, no short
run causality holds for Pakistan but, there exists a long run
cointegration from secondary sector growth to FDI, domestic investment
and infrastructure. Moreover, for tertiary sector, short run causality
runs from tertiary sector's growth to infrastructure and
institutions to economic growth. Similar to other sectors, growth of
tertiary sector attracts FDI, domestic investment, improves
infrastructure and institutions in Pakistan.
Lastly, the cross sector results also showed no spillover impact of
FDI of a particular sector to other sectors. The growth of primary
sector has a long run relationship with secondary and tertiary
sector's FDI. Similarly, the growth of secondary sector causes FDI
of primary sector in the short run and also holds a long run
relationship between them. It also shows a long run relationship with
tertiary sector's FDI. But the growth of tertiary sector only
showed a long run relationship with FDI of secondary sector. Overall,
the cross sector results also favour the market size hypothesis for
Pakistan.
Still, one cannot conclude that FDI has not complemented the growth
process of both secondary and tertiary sectors of Pakistan. One cannot
ignore the energy crises and poor law and order situation affecting
these sectors. Similarly, disaggregated level results can undergo with
aggregation bias [Aykut and Sayek (2007)]. Especially at sector level,
the data limitation could also be a factor for ambiguous results.
However, it can be an important direction to evaluate the FDI led growth
hypothesis for Pakistan.
On the other hand, it also points fingers on the policies regarding
foreign projects. This means that FDI had no impact in improving
domestic technology and exports in secondary and tertiary sector. The
policies should focus on the quality of the foreign project rather than
FDI itself. Moreover, local investors and human capital should be
strengthened to extract favourable results from FDI. This can improve
the absorptive capacity of domestic markets, especially secondary and
tertiary for boasting the growth along with spillover effects to other
sectors as well.

(1) The GDP data set was available at PBS. The sector wise data set
was available via economic groups from 1950 till 2014 but the sector
wise data of FDI was only available from 1997. The FDI data in
disaggregated form was available in 24 economic groups for the time
period 1997-2001. For the time span 2002-2013, the FDI data was
distributed in 36 economic groups. Therefore, it was added up for the
major 24 economic groups. Moreover, FDI data was available in million
US$ terms while GDP data was in million rupees, both in nominal terms.
The FDI data was multiplied with real effective exchange rate and
divided by GDP deflator factor constant 2006. The GDP data was divided
by GDP deflator constant factor 2006 for common bases. The data of
domestic investment was also collected from SBP and Pakistan Bureau of
Statistics (PBS). It was also converted in factor cost 2006 using GDP
deflator. All the variables used to derive an infrastructural index were
obtained from Economic Survey of Pakistan (2012-2013). Human Capital
data was obtained from UNDP reports. Lastly, the governance indicators
which were used to derive an institutional index were obtained from WGI.
(2) The sector wise GDP data set is prepared by Pakistan Bureau of
Statistics (PBS) and is managed by Mr Suleman Khan, who is the Assistant
Director of Statistics at SBP. Email:

(3) The FDI data by economic groups is managed by Mr Muhammad Zarar
Askari, who is the Senior Joint Director at SBP. Email:

(4) Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the infrastructural
index was derived for primary, secondary and tertiary sector using
various infrastructure variables. A separate correlation matrix was also
computed for each set of infrastructural variables of primary, secondary
and tertiary sectors to avoid multicollinearity.
(5) Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a common
institutional index was derived for all three sectors. A correlation
matrix was computed using four institutional variables to avoid
multicollinearity.
